When you're getting paid to write reviews, then yeah, I'd say it's a bad thing.

Great score, it deserves it since it's one of the best rpg's and games ever made.

Just goes to show too that the original version's superior to the DS remake,since IGN gave Chrono Trigger DS and 8.8

Anyone who hasn't downloaded Chrono Trigger on the VC needs to do so :P

I don't know which one to buy, the VC or the DS game.

My question is how the VC version could possibly be better when all the DS version did was add on to the original.

It's one of those games that's truly timeless. The music and pacing are still better than any JRPG released today.DJ_Lae

Yeah, it totally is; I can play it today and it still stacks up favorably against any current-gen game.

It's one of my favorite RPG games of all times. I got it for the DS when it came out and it still holds well.

Well, there's not much point adding onto a game when the things you're adding to it don't do anything for the game.

When Chrono Trigger was remade for the Playstation, they added Anime cutscenes and made it easier to unlock all the endings in the game. That's all it really needed. With the DS version there's everything that was already added to the Playstation version. Then there's a monster battle arena which is pointless, two new areas that don't do anything for the story and weren't really needed either, and a secret ending that foreshadows the events in Chrono Cross.

Basically they tried to make it easier for people to understand Chrono Cross better. I've watched the secret ending on youtube, and in my opinion it's not worth paying $40 for. Because all Square did with Chrono Trigger DS was make a lazy attempt at a quick cash in. The ONLY reason to even play the DS version is if you care at all about the secret ending. But if you've never played Chrono Cross then you won't care about that anyway so you're better off spending 800 Nintendo Points and just downloading it on the VC.

In my opinion of course :P

Just pointing it out, but you can shutoff the cutscenes, and have it set with the SNES layout on the DS version. That, and buying CT off of Amazon (or any game for that matter) is much cheaper than the standard price. I got my copy for $18 if I remember correctly.

I'll be downloading this once finals are over.

Now, to go to "All reviewed games tab," click "Wii" and then directly under that click "Virtual Console"

IGN: reviewing Virtual Console games since December 2006.

We get about 24 games reviewed per page, times 15 for the number of pages and we get approximately 360 reviewed VC games by IGN

Just as Chrono Trigger has earned. Not many games can hold up that nicely after all them years.

I really wish they make a Chrono Tigger 2. =( ((Not Chrono Cross)). One focusing on the Trigger characters again...

Oh ... and the retranslation is AWFUL. GOD AWFUL. DARK AGES --> ANTIQUITY. MYSTICS --> FIENDS. REVIVE --> ATHENIAN WATER. WHY?????supmt

I'm still gonna try my luck at finding a cheap DS copy :PKenny789

I really want to download this, but I know I don't have time to play it. :(

This game and Final Fantasy VI are pretty much the 2 classic JRPGs that I haven't played much of. I'm tempted to just download this but I think I'll still hold out strong for FFVI... It has to be coming soon right??

This game seems to have aged real well. I probably will download this.

[QUOTE="metswonin69"] The virtual console edition of Chrono Trigger is cheaper than the DS version though. metswonin69

My question is how the VC version could possibly be better when all the DS version did was add on to the original.

It is a pretty simple concept. Which of these two options would you prefer.

20 hours of entertainment for $8. VC version

25 hours of entertainment for $30. DS version

Obviously the first choice is preferable for a rational gamer. Therefore, the first choice, the VC version, deserves a higher score. metswonin69

That's assuming that the only thing a rational gamer would care about is maximizing their hours-entertained-per-dollar-spent ratio.

Just picked this one up, can't wait to play it as it would be my very first time trying it out :)

In all honesty though, I don't think buying it either way is a bad choice. However, although I'd rather play this on a big screen, I'd rather actually own the game on a cartridge rather than have a download version of it that's stuck on my system.
